3/21/08 Open Thread; Padres vs. Brewers

Apparently the Brewers

sent Sheets and Gallardo to beat up on our minor leaguers this morning. Classy.

The Mashin Macedonian!!!

Even better is that it went to CF, right over Cameron.

Padres up 1-0 top 1st.

MLB Gameday

Wierd, Says Parrino instead of Peavy. Even Wieder, XX isn't covering the game. Wierdest USD is keeping up with UCONN and is looking better than them right now.

XX

Oh, its the BBall game.

P-Keg

with a line-drive double down the line to score Tony Clark (who walked). P-Keg to third on the throw home. Headley up now. Padres 2, Brewers still waiting to bat.

gameday

waiting for first pitch...

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 1:17 PM PDT up reply actions

Jeez

This is a really ghetto radio broadcast. Between innings I get the in-stadium PA announcements.

I was just told: "Remember to be tobacco free."

Jake

Did he get scratched?? I'm showing Andrew Parrino?!?!

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 1:20 PM PDT reply actions

Unless

the Brewers announcers are completely retarded (and I wouldn't put it past them), Jake is still pitching.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:21 PM PDT up reply actions

Great

Here comes the "Jake's only successful because of PETCO" crap.

God I hate not listening to our guys.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:24 PM PDT reply actions

Jake

is apparently struggling with his control today. Jake has walked two guys in the first.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:26 PM PDT reply actions

Jake serves up

a 3-run blast to Braun. Wonderful.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:27 PM PDT reply actions

Whoa

Padres are hitting .292 as a team this Spring. It would be REALLY REALLY REALLY nice if we could keep that up during the year.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:30 PM PDT reply actions

You know what else would be

REALLY REALLY NICE? Jake not giving up 3 run Homers.

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions

Agreed.

After he gave up the dinger he struck out the next two guys, so maybe he's got his release point down.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:37 PM PDT up reply actions

umm

could anyone tell me why my audio isnt playing??
its bugging the frick outa me

Double X

is carrying the USD game today.

it plays for a split second
then stops

by iLOVEkouz5 on Mar 21, 2008 1:39 PM PDT up reply actions

HAH!

The Honkeytonk Man (former WWE Intercontinental Champion) is in attendance at the game. See what you miss when you don't get the in-stadium PA announcements between innings?

Christ

Jason Kendall almost takes Jake yard.

Embarassing.

He's on Roids

He's on Roids. He's on fucking steroids!

CBS is about to jinx them

About to switch them to the national telecast...

Well all the other games are over

And USD is starting to look like USD right about now. 7-0 UCONN Run.

Pomare's 4th

They're done.

by Winfield's Ghost on Mar 21, 2008 2:21 PM PDT up reply actions

Fielder almost

took Jake deep and hit a booming double. Seems like the Brewers are hitting him hard today.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 2:04 PM PDT reply actions

Chase!

Throws out Fielder trying to score from LF. Nice!

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 2:06 PM PDT reply actions

Baby's First

Outfield assist? Even if it was on Prince "fat ass" Fielder.

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 2:07 PM PDT up reply actions

Think so

Great to hear.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 2:10 PM PDT up reply actions

Bard

apparently learned from yesterday and decided to stop at 1st and not round too hard.

There goes the lead. and Pomare with his 4th foul.

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 2:22 PM PDT reply actions

by Winfield's Ghost on Mar 21, 2008 2:39 PM PDT up reply actions

Jake

The hits don't really worry me, its the 3 BBs. He should have his control by now with only 10 days till opening night.

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 2:24 PM PDT reply actions

Agreed

He was apparently quite animated today as he was frustrated by his inability to throw strikes.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 2:27 PM PDT up reply actions

3-2

Brewers after 4.5. C'mon Pads. Score some runs.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 2:30 PM PDT reply actions

usd

WG you watching this? its getting intense. even though I dont' even like usd. 13 would be the highest seed to win so far. up 4 with 53 seconds to go.

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 2:39 PM PDT reply actions

can't believe they are hanging in

how do you miss that layup. stupid guy.

they're done

What is this attitude

carryover from last season?

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 2:52 PM PDT up reply actions

It's reality

They are gagging. Pomare has 4. They're playing hot potato on the offensive end. B. Johnson is only one that wants ball and UConn figured it out.

And he shoulda made that friggin' layup.

by Winfield's Ghost on Mar 21, 2008 2:54 PM PDT up reply actions

Goodbye, Pomare

by Winfield's Ghost on Mar 21, 2008 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions

SEE YA, Gyno

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 2:57 PM PDT up reply actions

missed layups=double fail

Ginty!!! God, if he made either of the back ends on his free throws, ballgame. 2-4 FT at the end of an NCAA tourney game is unacceptable.

Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

by JBro12 on Mar 21, 2008 2:52 PM PDT up reply actions

Pomare

is straight ridiculous from the 18-20 foot range.

Of course, right as I type this, he fouls out. Let's go Rob Jones/Brandon Johnson!

Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

ROB EFFING JONES!

A couple of amazing shots and regulation and then taking control in OT!

I love Bardo!

I especially love saying his name instead of Charge! when they do the Duh Duh D-Duh D-Duhhhhh thing at games.

How clutch was KT in '06 with his trades? AGo and CY for the remains of Eaton plus Otsuka, Cla and Bardo for the charred remains of Doug Freakin' Mirabelli, and then before '07 season trading for the Mashing Macedonian. An awesome 365 for the GM back then.

by Wonko on Mar 21, 2008 2:58 PM PDT up reply actions

Headley

The more I see him face real pitching, the more I think he should start in AAA. Buddy Black sounded like he was thinking the same the other day on XX.

by Wonko on Mar 21, 2008 2:52 PM PDT reply actions

.359

ST AVG. Can't be all shitty pitching.

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions

What I mean is

He got a lot of hits off of guys ticketed for the minors and today he's struggling against Bush and Villanueva two bonafide MLers.

Dear Jake,

Stop sucking, jackass.

Rusch's ST ERA? 0.87 Rusch or Germano in the 5 hole??

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 21, 2008 3:01 PM PDT up reply actions

I'd go with Rusch

since he's a lefty. Let Germano play swingman/long relief.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 3:02 PM PDT up reply actions

This is gonna sound rude but...

Anyone who uses ST stats to set rosters should be fired immediately. In a multi-million dollar business you just can't make decisions like that and expect to produce. I saw a great article on BP where they pointed out stats of guys for random months during the regular season. To sum it up, you can't really figure out anything based on them and that's against only ML competition, not the mixed bag you get in ST.

Who Says

SDSU couldn't beat UConn too? Just because they got killed by the Gators doesn't mean the Aztecs couldn't have hung around with a lazy UConn team.

I mean how does 6'7 Gyno beat a 7'3 guy so many times? Crazy times.

by Wonko on Mar 21, 2008 3:20 PM PDT up reply actions

I'll tell you how

Gyno's 15-18 foot pick and pop. 95% of Thabeet's blocks, and most blocks by big men for that matter, come within 4-5 feet of the hole. Draw their bigs out towards the perimeter, and they lose a rebounder and have their height negated by smaller, quicker guys.

Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.
